Professional educators and the unions running our schools believe children learn when there are lots of administrators. "A revealing new study shows that in recent years increases in the administrative costs of California’s K-12 schools have squeezed salaries for teachers. It shines a powerful searchlight on exactly what goes on in the dark corners of school budgets."
"Did you know that as we spend more money on government education, enrollment has dropped (and that does not include the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens crowding our schools? "Average Daily Attendance (ADA) fell from approximately 5.8 million in FY 2003-04 to 5.6 million in FY 2008-09. This means that, with budgets increasing, more money should have gone toward teaching each student; and it would have if administration had not eaten more of the education money pie."
In five years taxes spent on government education went up 25% under Arnold--are we getting a better quality education? Hint, LAUSD has a 60% drop out rate, per Education Week.
"Statewide, Total Expenditures per student (excluding capital expenditures) increased from $7,851 in FY03-04 to $9,876 in FY 07-08, before declining by one dollar, to $9,875 in FY 08-09. This was an increase of 25.8% in Total Expenditures per student from FY 03-04 through FY 08-09."
Failure is just one of the words I would use. The other words would not be appropriate, except in a military setting.
